Hi Cheryl, Wonder if your Collins is part of mine? I'm looking for info on Rebecca Collins, born 1787 in NC, died 05 Mar 1874 in Barbour Co., AL, she is buried in the Bethel Cemetery in Bluesprings, Barbour Co., AL. She married William Nathan Reeder. She had children that lived in Coffee and Covington Counties. She appears on the 1860 Covington County census in household #257 with her son William Reader as a 73 year old invalid, her husband had died in 1858. Her daughter Elizabeth Reeder Dykes (my ancestor) is on the same census with her family in household #509.
